How do you know...?

Hi so I was just under 7 weeks from lmp when I found out ideas expecting. Then a few days later started to bleed. Like a v heavy period. With a few stomach cramps and was told it was likely a MC (miscarriage) and to test after I finished bleeding to see if I get a + Or -. + if need to make another appt. I keep reading on here about people knowing when they pass the sac... excuse my ignorance but how do you know? Ive had a few small clots like i would in a normal monthly. Nothing out of the ordinary or sizable.

Hi, I didn't want to read and run so I'll tell you my experience. I had a mmc last year, found out at 13 week scan that sac measured 6 weeks. I decided to miscarry naturally rather than the surgical route. I was bleeding like a heavy period and little bits of clots for a few days and then I got really painful cramps on and off like contractions. I went to the toilet and felt something quite big wanting to come out, kind of like a really full tampon that had slipped down to near the opening (but didn't put one in). I had to push slightly for it to come out. I looked in the toilet after and it was about 2 inches in length and oval shaped. Stopped having pains shortly after. Still continued with the little clots for about a week after and then turned to brown and then stopped.

I don't know if this is any help and sorry if TMI. I also don't know if everyone experiences the same, but this was my experience. Sorry for your loss 💕

Really sorry to hear your sad news. The sac is a grey colour so can easily be seen, compared to a large red clot. Are you having a natural MC (miscarriage) or have you had medical management? I had a natural MC (miscarriage) at 12 weeks in March and it took me around 50 hours from my first initial bleed to pass the sac. You may experience contractions, I did back to back every 2 1/2 mins for 5 hours. If you do get them, the contractions and pain will stop once the sac has been passed.

Thanks for your comments ladies I appreciate it. This is my 3rd Pregnancy and never experienced this before.

I had some bad cramping the evening of 1st and then started bleeding quite heavy that night. Was really heavy for maybe 2 days with some normal period type clots now it's just like a medium-light flow period, No pain or anything. :/ not experienced anything like you mentioned, might call Drs back on Monday, maybe i wasnt as far along as i though... hopefully I will get some answers. I just feel in limbo at the moment.

Hi, I didn’t want to read and run but I’ll tell you my experience. I had a MMC last month and decided on medical management. I had awful cramping for the first few hours with light bleeding, then after all the cramping stop, I started bleeding heavy with some small blood clots then eventuall over 4-5 days I passed 3 large clots. No pain when passing the bigger clots as what Mac1002 mentioned it’s like you there’s something and you want to give it a slight push to get it out. Mine was fleshy looking (sorry TMI!!). Sorry you feel in limbo but I would take a picture and show it to your GP and see what they say.
